D&D General Disaster Patrons and Their Longsuffering Warlocks

[doctorbadwolf]

I’d be looking to Pirates of the Caribbean there. Davy Jones seems an obvious one.

Or Calipso or a siren.

 

[Piperken]

I absolutely love the idea.

But also, now I'm thinking about actual disasters as your Patron. Like, you're the long-suffering warlock of a titanic hurricane or avalanche, and the longer you stay in one area (measured in days or weeks) the more your patron manifests.

Or the disaster might even be mildly sapient and urge you to stage minor disasters that resemble itself!

(That tiny rain cloud in comics, that perpetually follows above your character's head...)

I know she wasn't a warlock, but Jester in CR2

Wait ... she wasn't?

OK, that's embarrassing. I always thought it was a great warlock/patron relationship.

Pledging myself to the version of Bacchus from The Magicians TV show

Any of the immortals from the TV show would fit this description. I can totally picture any of them livestreaming themselves making really bad choices and not understanding the problem with any of it -- well, maybe after they sober up, when and if that happens.

As things worked out, flavor wise she was 100% an Archfey Warlock, in both Patron and outlook. But mechanically, straight Trickery Cleric. Which just goes to show once again how many people blur those lines.

Oh, it's fine, the way she was played really leans towards a warlock/patron relationship, but she was a cleric (though she didn't do much healing hehe).
